When the bill for establishing Sol.

the Board of Trade of Los Angeles saw
no reason why it might not be located
here, and to that end they have been
working. Mr.. Lawrence, the Secretary
of the Board, forwarded to the officials
at Washington documents relating to the
climate and natural advantages which
Los Angeles possesses, and wrote letter
containing the resolutions passed by the
Board. Yesterday he received the fol.
lowing reply:
Mr.. A. M. Laurence, Secretary Board

s at their next meeting, April 10, 1887.
Respectfully yours,
w. B. FRANKLIN,
President.
The desirability of securing the Home
for this city is unquestionable, and
every effort should be put forth to con-
vince the Board at Washington that
this is the best place that could be se-
lected. A home for old soldiers should
be located where the climate is equable
and healthy, and there can be found no
place which is better in this respect
than Los Angeles. The city is directly
interested in this matter, for the cree.
ton of the Home will give employment
to many artisans and will give work 10
iron foundries, brick yards, carpenters
and others. thus putting considerable
money in circulation. Besides after
completion the Home will be an orna.
ment which will prove an attraction to
visitors. The northern sections are put.
ting forth every effort TO gain the Home
for that part OF the State, and the citi-
zens and merchants of Los Angeles
should not be behind in energy when an
addition like this is TO be obtained by
the proper presentation of the natural
advantages of Southern California.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-03-09

We learn by private dispatch from
Sacramento that the Crandall bill,
authorizing the incurrence OF indebt-
edness by cities, passed both Houses
yesterday, and will therefore become
a law. This bill authorizes any city
or town to incur indebtedness to pay
the cost OF any permanent municipal
improvement requiring an expend-
iture greater than the amount allowed
for such improvement by the ordinary
tax levy. This law is carefully guard
ed, and provides that when any in
debtedness is to be incurred, an ordi-
nance to that effect shall be passed
by the Council or other municipal
legislative body, and the same shall
be submitted to a vote of the people.
Bonds issued under this Act shall be
known as serials, and payable as fol-
lows: One twentieth part OF the
whole amount each and every year,
together with the whole amount OF
the annual interest unpaid-the in
terest not to exceed five per cent. per
annum. No bond shall be sold at
less than it's face value in gold coin !;
and the proceeds OF the sale of bonds
shall be placed in the city treasury to
the credit of the municipal Improve
ment Fund.-" and shall be applied
exclusively to the purposes mentioned
in the ordinance providing for the
incurring of the indebtedness. As
this Act is to take effect Immediately,
our city will now have all the means
it requires to make street, sewer and
other necessary improvements.

THE death of Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher marks the close OF one of the
most notable careers in the history OF
American divines. He was a man
eminently gifted with the graces OF
oratory and the resources of fertile
and active brain. But, with all his
talents, he lacked the weighty at
tribute of stability. He was genius
in brilliancy, and that carried with it
the inevitable accompaniments OF
genius-the lack of that solid
poise of mind that holds the
intellectual helm in place and
renders erratic courses impos,
sible. Mr.. Beecher had outlived his
best fame, and had wandered into
seas of eccentric currents. Theolog-
ically he had become vagari-
Gus, and was the more dreaded
for the courses he might take
because of his wonderful powers Of
presentation. 1t has been difficult to
follow him in his doctrinal wander
ings during the last decade, and his
best friends feared that he had not
only parted company with well
defined theological teachings, but was
ro pidIv trandino foUo ri ism thot no n
no recognized orthodoxical bound
aries. AS divine, he would have
stood eminent in the list of the high
est, had he died twenty years ago
to-day he passes away as splendid
star in the oratorical armament, but
with no fixed position as teacher of
the truths of divine revelation.
